  • Abstract
    Diabetic retinopathy is a progressive ocular disease. The disease may advance from mild to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. This paper proposes a method for automated detection and classification of vascular abnormalities in diabetic retinopathy. The vascular abnormalities are detected using scale and orientation selective Gabor filter banks. The proposed method classifies the retinal image as mild or severe case based on the outputs obtained from Gabor filters.
